I've decided against running a marathon this fall. I still have a vague
pain in my right ankle that won't go away, and I'll probably have to take
a few weeks off to really get it healed up. Plus, I just don't have
the time on the weekdays to get in the 40 miles or so that I need in
addition to the long runs. I am OK with this, and I may try to find a
10K goal race for something to work toward.

I attempted a run Sunday afternoon, but neither Silas or I were up for
it, and that was just too much malaise for me to handle. Turned around
before half a mile. Skipped Monday as well. Part of this is because I
finally borrowed the new Harry Potter book, and I didn't get a lot of
sleep this weekend. I also watched Without Limits this weekend. I
didn't really think the movie was all that, too Hallmarky and
sentimental, but I could watch that Munich 5000 any day of the week,
even in recreation, and I also was reminded to keep my pelvis level when
I run.

This morning, for a change of pace, I decided to run a fartlek. (sorry).
I should say "decided", because most of my runs these days have just
involved following my feet out the door. This morning that involved
turning right and following the same route down Milvia that we took on
Friday. I felt my pace accelerating, and decided to mix it up a bit. I
did about 7 accelerations over the 5.5 miles, varying between mile and
marathon effort. Silas just chilled out and took it all in this
morning.
